Painter, Teacher When she directed The Milwaukee Handicraft Project, Elsa Ulbricht was one of the most inspiring people ever to lead an art project for the federal government’s Works Project Administration. It was one of the largest, if not the largest, W.P.A. art-related project in the nation, employing about 5,000 people from Milwaukee mostly women who learned marketable skills for the first time. The program was visited and recognized as an exemplary project by Eleanor Roosevelt. A consummate teacher, Ulbricht taught at Alexander Mueller’s School of Fine and Applied Arts and also the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she became the chair of the art department. Later she was the director of the Ox-Bow Summer School of Painting in Sagatuck, Michigan. Diverse in her skills, she taught clay modeling, teaching methods, weaving, mechanical drawing, basketry and bookbinding. Recipient of the 2004 Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Awards

"Gingerbread Church" Oil Painting of Countryside Church signed by Robert Richter
By Robert Richter
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Gingerbread Church" is an oil painting on wood by Robert Richter, signed on the verso. The frame was created and hand-carved by the artist, making it an integral piece of the work of art. The painting depicts a country church on top of a pale green grassy hill, surrounded by green shrubs and bushes of various tones. The sky is pale near the horizon line, transitioning slowly to a deep, saturated blue at the top of the image, and a few clouds float on through. The church is indeed reminiscent of a gingerbread house...

'Monday in Wick Haven' original linoleum cut print by Howard Thomas
By Howard Thomas
Located in Milwaukee, WI
In this image, Howard Thomas presents the viewer with a domestic interior. The image is dominated by the figure of a black woman, resting her arm on an ironing board. To the right, the tool of her task dangles a chord above a checker tiled floor. Beyond, though a window, neighboring homes fill the landscape. The careful line-work of the linocut adds a sense of expressionism to the scene, but the image nonetheless falls into the Social Realism that captivated most American artists during the Great Depression.
This print was published in 1936 as part of the Wisconsin Artists' Calendar for the year 1937, which included 52 original, hand-made prints – one for each week of the year.

"Meditation, " Figure & Farm Tool Linoleum Cut signed by Schomer Lichtner
By Schomer Lichtner
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Meditation" is an original linoleum print by Schomer Lichtner, signed in the lower right hand corner. It features a man in the middle of a project, in quiet meditation.
Image: 6" x 8"
Framed: 14.5" x 14.37"
Lichtner and his wife, Ruth Grotenrath (1912-1988), are celebrated as Milwaukee’s first couple of painting and are regarded as major Wisconsin artists. Lichtner’s impressive production, perseverance, longevity, and positive approach to his life and art made him and his work distinctive and much loved by his many admirers. His work is currently represented in collections at the Milwaukee Art Museum, the John Michael Kohler Art Center, the West Bend Museum, and in the collections of many individuals. Books on the lives and art work of both Lichtner and Grotenrath are in progress and it is anticipated that they will be published next year. Recipient of the 2006 Wisconsin Visual Artist Lifetime Achievement Award The late Milwaukee artists, Schomer Lichtner and Ruth Grotenrath, created original silkscreen prints as a part of their Christmas celebration starting in the 1940's. The subjects and colors varied from year to year but they laboriously printed these little gems themselves. Ruth Grotenrath, 1912-1988, and her husband, Schomer Lichtner, (1905-2006), are celebrated as Milwaukee’s first couple of painting and are regarded as major Wisconsin artists. From the outset, Lichtner and Grotenrath were determined to become full-time artists. Ruth Grotenrath and Schomer Lichtner began their careers by creating numerous murals for the WPA (Work Projects Administration), primarily post offices. A wonderful example can be seen in the Sheboygan, Wisconsin post office. Even during the Great Depression they worked producing Post Office murals under the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts (SFA). According to James Auer, former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel art critic, "As art and economic trends evolved, the couple’s palettes brightened and warmed. Both fell under the spell of the Mexican social realists, notably Diego Rivera, and modernists such as Matisse and Dufy. The couple’s perspective changed further after they became friends with philosopher Alan Watts...
